Getting Married?

Getting married is one of life's great joys.

Premarital counseling is a great way to build something rock-solid together before the big day. I offer premarital counseling to help couples communicate better, navigate expectations, and start marriage with confidence. We explore all the "big issues" before the big day. And as an ordained officiant, I can even perform your ceremony. It is an honor to journey with couples from "Will you?" all the way to "I do!"

Premarital Counseling

I love working with people in love!

I offer virtual premarital counseling. Premarital counseling allows you to start your new lives together with a strong footing of honesty, openness and mutual respect. Together, we will strengthen the loving foundation you have built.

I offer a 4 hour premarital counseling package or we can customize the counseling to meet your goals.

Florida couples, did you know that you can waive the 3 day waiting period, and save money on your marriage license with 4 hours of approved premarital counseling? Going deeper emotionally with the one you love, plus saving money? What could be better!

I am a qualified instructor for Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco, Manatee and Sarasota Counties.

Officiating

In addition to being a licensed counselor, I have been Reverend Claudine since 2008. Over the years I have officiated numerous wedding services all tailored to the couple's wishes.

We will meet 2-3 times prior to the ceremony so I can learn more about you both and what is important to you as a couple. Together, we will create a personalized, meaningful ceremony for you and your partner.

Want a traditional ceremony? Great! Let's pick out some Bible passages and follow the traditional format.

Not interested in a traditional ceremony? Great!

Want a handfasting? Jump the broom? Or other ritual? Got you covered. Together we will create a ceremony that is significant and sacred to you.

Blending families together? We can create a ceremony that celebrates joining the two families together and includes children (little or adult).

Counseling and Officiating Package

Impressed and want both premarital counseling and an officiant who is intimate with your relationship? Great!

I offer packages that include both premarital counseling and officiating. This includes the 4 hour premarital counseling package and 1-2 meetings focused on creating the ceremony you desire.

Any in-person services (including premarital counseling and/or officiating) would be in the Tampa Bay area unless additional arrangements are made.
